Spotted
The Whooper Swan is a large, elegant white swan with a long, straight neck and a striking yellow-and-black bill, with the yellow extending further along the bill than in Bewick's Swan.
Where to spot
Breeds in the Arctic and sub-Arctic regions of Eurasia, migrating south to winter in temperate parts of Europe and Asia. Look for them on large wetlands, lakes, and agricultural fields.
How to spot
Identify by its pure white plumage, long straight neck, and the prominent yellow wedge on its black bill that typically extends beyond the nostril. Listen for their loud, trumpeting 'whoop-whoop' calls.
When to spot
Most commonly observed during autumn and spring migration, and throughout the winter months in their non-breeding grounds. Breeding season is in spring and summer.

Whooper Swans are known for their loud, bugling calls, which can be heard from a distance, particularly when flocks are flying or communicating on the water.
